If a man's conversation is heavy it's a safe bet that his words carry but little weight. When a man bumps into a brand of trouble worth talking about he has but little to say about It. Any man who owns an automobile will tell you that a punctured tire is anything but an inexpensive blowout. The knocker usually gets his when the hammer rebounds. THE SAN FRANCISCO 'CAUL.

WOMEN OF HONDURAS MAKE "PANAMA" HATS Time Required From Two to Four Weeks At Sigjatepeque the opportunity presented itself to wifness a practical demonstration of making the famous "Panama" hats of Honduras. As a rule there are no hats made in Slguatepeque, Santa Barbara being the center of this industry. About 15,000 of these hats are made Two Enthusiastic Boosters of Mission District annually by the women of Santa Barbara.

The palm leaf, from which they are made, is called "junco." The most tender leaves are selected and exposed to sulphur smoke, moisture and the rays of the sun. The price is about 18 cents gold for two dozen leaves, the amount needed for one hat. It takes about two weeks to make an ordinary hat and one month to make a fine one. A round block, called "horma," is used as a form for making the crown. After this part is finished a table is used; provided with one or more holes, into which the crown is dropped and the rim woven on top of the table.

These hats are sold at from $1.20 't0 $14, according to their quality. They are made during the wet season, as the straw breaks during the dry. Evenlin the wet season a damp; cloth Is constantly used to moisten the straw while weaving. When they are finished they placed In a large box and again subjected to sulphur fumes, after which they are ready for the market. LION TAMER'S LUCK GOES WITH DIVORCE So Now Harry Hoile Will Rewed to See if It Will Come Back Harry Holle, lion tamer, teacher of monkeys, snakes, leopards, tigers and everything 1 iV animal creation except elephants, is about to try matrimony for the fourth time.

Hoile lost one wife through disagreement and two others through the bites of some of the animals he had trained, says the New York World. Now he is to marry for the fourth time, and the fourth wife will be the' the one from whom he was divorced in 1900. HE WAS A "That man Hoile is sure a great charmer," said Sweeney, the negro in charge of the animal stockade at Montelahy N. J. VHoile, he ain't so young as he used to be.

He's 58. But he never did have no luck since he got a divorce from his first wife. Sho was Cecelia Woods, and she lives in Brooklyn'still. "They were married 'way back in '74, soon after he came to this country from England. Mrs.

Hoile was as good as a trained nurse when Harry got bitten or hurt by the lions or leopards. sivakh hit sccoxn wife "Back in 1900 they began to quarrel. The end of that was they got a divorce and separated. Hoile 'never had any real luck after that. In 1901 he married Kate Escher.

She was no hand around an animal, and when Hoile got bitten she couldn't attend Mm as the first Mrs. Hoile did. Finally one of the animals bit her and she died. "Then Hoile went in heavy for speculation in animals. He was worth $400,000.

at that time, but the expeditions he sent out to Africa stayed there or never brought back any animals. "Threa years after the death of his second wife Hoile married Tiny Trainor. She got blood poisoning from a scratch made by a leopard and died. lIKH. SYMPATHY AROUSED "Hoile didn't have any show left then and he was In Boston.

He grot a sympathetic letter from his first wife. He answered it and got other letters. "Hoile was trying to train a bear and got badlybitten on the hand. His first wife heard of it and sent him another letter. Then' he told me he'd been over to Brooklyn to see his first wife and they'd agreed to forgtt the past and get married again." A woman likes to have her husband run for a political office so that she may have a chance to get pictures of the entire family in the newspapers.

It is truly a fortunate thing for most of that we are not compelled to transform all our thoughts Into words. A millionaire may not object to buying his daughter a title so much as he objects to what goes with it. What the very yqung man doesn't know he imagines he knows and It causes him Just as much trouble. A woman can even be proud of her husband's bad habits if he'll attend church on Sunday. When a man begins to boast of his honesty it is your cue to keep one eye on your umbrella.

Although a great deal of sugar is Imported from Cuba, some people continue to borrow it from their neighbors. COURTROOM FACES SELDOM CHANGE Old Soldiers and Budding yers Are Often Among Spectators If you would study faces drop into a courtroom, preferably in the municipal court, for, ay, an hour a' day for a week. You will be surprised. Each day you enter a courtroom which you have visited before you will see practically the same faces among the lookers on and listeners; faces the expressions on which apparently have not altered In a line since last you saw them. Thte first time you enter a given courtroom you will see the long, thin man, the short, thick one.

the old soluier. the shabbily dressed man and a dozen' others, saya the Chicago Daily News. Their faces are different degrees of attention. Some are all absorbed in the-proceedings, others only mildly one. or two risk being called for contempt of court by reading the alleged funny pictures in newspapers of the day before.

Perhaps one will be dozing. The next time you chance to enter that courtroom It is dollar to doughnuts that eight out of ten of those same persons will be there, perhaps in the same seats. "Who are they?" you ask. That is the 'question. Many of them are old soldiers, men without families and whose pension from the government is barely enough to keep them In food and clothing.

During the day. especially in winter, the court furnishes a warm and not altogether uninteresting place to stay. Then again, some of the persons are law students or young- lawyers who have just passed the bar examinations. They usually pick a case which an able attorney is handling and they give attention to every detail in the proceedings. They are not the ones who read the papers or who sleep In the courtroom, neither are they so likely to be found in the same courtroom dally unless the case be one of importance.

But the persons of the lounger class have their favorite courtroom. Whether it is because they like the Judge, the bailiff or the lighting arrangements or the view from the courtroom is a matter of conjecture. At any rate they are daily visitors and in most cases they are as faithful as the judge as far as punctual attendance is concerned. These are the persons whose comment is unique.
